About this property

Enjoy Breezes on the James River, 2bdrm-1bath / 15 minutes to downtown Richmond

The James River house is in Henrico county. We are 15 minutes to Historic Downtown Richmond and 45 minutes to Colonial Williamsburg. We are overlooking the James river in a very beautiful private setting. Our house sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a very amazing king bed and the second bed room has a Midcentury queen bed both have very comfortable mattresses. There is a sun room that contains a daybed and a pull out queen bed in the living area. The large kitchen comes completely 'chef' ready. The picture window in the cozy living room shows off the river. Bring your bikes and bike from your door to the Virginia Capital Bike Trail. The trail will run from Richmond to Williamsburg. We are in walking distance to Deep Bottom boat ramp and have plenty of room for your boat and jet skis. Or you may choose to Kayak or Stand Up Paddle Board right from your private beach. We have direct water access, with a brand new 50 foot dock , with space to tie up 4 boats or just relax and enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget to bring your water shoes our beach is rocky. You can enjoy watching for the many species of birds including eagles, osprey, loons and blue heron to name few. We also have a Donkey (Bubba) and a Horse (Lil Bit) that we can introduce you to. You may also enjoy the challenge of looking for sharks teeth. If there is an angler in your group they have come to the right place. The tidal James in our area is known for catching citation blue catfish. The James also contains striped and large mouth bass, perch,shad and Gar. It is an escape into nature. There is also an abundance of history in our area. If you head East on historical route 5 you will encounter many plantations, battle fields, Williamsburg and Jamestown. If you head West on route 5 you will be going towards Richmond. Richmond has many museums, Tredegar iron works, festivals, Shockoe bottom, eclectic Cary Street, Maymont Park and lots more!! There are also 3 major Theme parks nearby, Busch Gardens, Water Country and Kings Dominion. For quieter days relaxing by the river, reading in the sun room, grilling out your favorite dish, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit this is a wonderful location. The house has a collection of books and games. The octagon picnic table is the perfect place for games and outside dinning. You feel the river breezes and hear the many sounds of river birds as you relax. We do not advertise on Craigslist.

Great family vacation!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this vacation home!!! This was our second time staying at this house and both experiences have been great! The house is always super clean and is stocked with everything you will need. We loved the dock, fishing was great from it and it is so convenient being so close to the boat launch. The owners were great to deal with and so helpful. I would definitely recommend this house!!!!!!

River Stay

Private stay with a lake house and a dock to fish off all yourself. The resident was feeding the horses and a donkey in the nearby stable and helped my daughter pet them, which was a highlight of her trip.

Awesome Cottage

We had an amazing stay at this relaxing cottage right on the James River. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, private, and just steps from the water. The dock was absolutely perfect for kicking back with a drink or casting a line. We caught all kinds of fish and spent hours just enjoying the view. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind by the water!

Beautiful, peaceful location!

Lovely views of the river & birds. Peace and quiet. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It is an old house but it is well cared for and we definitely enjoyed the three seasons room. There was everything we needed to cook our meals. I fell in love with the sweet donkey and we enjoyed walking the nearby trails.

Amazing Stay

The property is set on a picturesque landscape with views of the James River from windows and the sunroom. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom relaxing and visiting Bubba the donkey. The house had all the things we needed for a perfect stay. We were in town for a soccer tournament and being able to relax in our downtime was perfect! We had no reason to contact the owners but when we did to let them know we were arriving and departing they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Kondakor

Host profile image
We purchased this property because our love or the James River and Richmond. The location was amazing, being just off the interstate and minutes from downtown Richmond. I am a avid kayaker, paddle boarder and previous white water raft guide. The James River is the only River in the country with class 5 Rapids running through the middle of it. Downtown Richmond is going through major revitalization and benefiting from their River locations and Historical value. Janet a skilled horse woman and a antique collector. She also has a knack for decoration in a comfortable way, and strives to make sure her guests are treated as if in a Five Star Hotel. This property was considered a Diamond in the Rough when we bought it... Janet and I spent over 1 year to ensure that it would be something that anyone could enjoy.. From the Taj King sized bed, High Quality Mattresses, fully stocked kitchen, Sun Room, out door environment and beautiful landscaping , We both feel that you will be very comfortable in a beautiful setting during your stay.

Why they chose this property

It's all about getting away from the fast placed life that we all have to endure. Everyone needs to be recharged, and this is a perfect way to do it. Let the stress go away and forget about all the craziness of what makes up your monotonous day. I, you , they ...all need some R and R.. don't' pass it by and say I wish I would have done that!!

What makes this property unique

Quiet setting on the James River. Beautiful comfortable cozy cottage. Private setting with 50 foot dock. Fishing, Relaxing, kayaking, Hanging out by the fire. River Breezes and Sunshine.
